The second and final season of "Here Come the Brides" has been released by Shout! Factory.

Here comes the bride, here comes the bride– Wait a minute! That is the cutest wedding dress I have ever seen. Let me snap a picture real quick, so I can share it to this online wedding planning group I’m in. They’re going to love it!

Here Come The Brides was an hour-long comedy/Western TV series set in Seattle in the 1870s about a family of loggers who brought in 100 women as potential brides. The show launched Bobby Sherman and David Soul as teen idols.

Barry Blitt says that his challenge was “to depict same-sex weddings in a new or interesting way.” I started scribbling. Two Hell’s Angels-types on…

It’s a Sunday afternoon in the Fall of 1968. I’m 9 years old and I’m visiting my friend Timmy for the first time at his new house. We’re getting ready to run outside and play and he goes upstairs to get something. He’s gone quite a while. The television had been left on in the living room downstairs where I was and the first episode of a new series came on—HERE COME THE BRIDES. I had heard about this new show but didn’t really think it looked all that good—sort of a TV version of the movie musical SEVEN BRIDES FOR SEVEN BROTHERS, which my Mom loved but I couldn’t stand. By the time Timmy came down, though, I was hooked in by the catchy theme song, SEATTLE, and we had to wait until the episode ended before we ran around outside. The reason that HERE COME THE BRIDES was on Sunday afternoon was that the local ABC affiliate had a habit then of displacing programs to the weekend so they could air local shows in prime time. HERE COME THE BRIDES is the story of three Seattle brothers in the 1860’s who travel to the East Coast by ship to bring back 100 marriageable women for the loggers in the town. Underlying the trip is a high-stakes bet between logger Jason Bolt and sawmill owner Aaron Stempel as to whether the year-long experiment will succeed. Jason Bolt, played by actor Robert Brown, is portrayed as the stereotypical hero. He’s tall, handsome, stalwart, broad-shouldered and with a million dollar smile. He always wears his trademark leather outfit. Eye candy for the ladies for sure. But the eye candy didn’t stop there. Jason’s two younger brothers, Joshua and Jeremy, were portrayed by future Hutch (as in STARSKY AND…) David Soul and soon-to-be America’s # 1 pop recording sensation, Bobby Sherman. Although the younger of the two, Sherman had already had some success as the house singer on SHINDIG a few years earlier. For the guys, there was just plain Candy—Bridget Hanley, a lovely young actress whose trademark on the show was her old-fashioned hairstyle. Rounding out the cast of the series were-- the great Joan Blondell, one of the best wisecracking dames in the history of movies, here filled out a bit but still gorgeous a saloon owner Lottie who takes the girls under her wing; Henry Beckman, an actor known before and after for his solid but bland performances, here allowed to chew the scenery with great aplomb as Captain Clancy; Mark Lenard, forever best known as Spock’s Vulcan father Sarek in the various TV and film versions of STAR TREK, as Aaron; Susan Tolsky as what passes fro Candy’s goofy neighbor, Bo Svenson in early episodes as “Big Swede” and, in the second and final season, Candy’s young niece and nephew, Molly and Christopher. Early on, there was a vague serial aspect to the series, itself a Western but generally without any of the traditional staples of a TV Western. Plots dealt with the courtships of various characters, the unhappiness of the women, local disasters and the family interplay with the Bolt Brothers. Famously, Bruce lee even appeared as a guest star in one episode dealing wit the Chinese community in the American West. Josh was the impetuous one, Jeremy the stammering dreamer, Jason the altruistic self-styled leader of the town. Even though he was 42 when the series started, one would be hard-pressed to find an actor at that time that more defined the word “swashbuckler” than Robert Brown. Along with Soul and Sherman, he, too, became a teen idol. Bobby Sherman parlayed the gig into a series of hit singles and albums and concerts filled with screaming teenyboppers. With his fluffy hair, love beads and peace signs, his shirtless photos adorned countless issues of SIXTEEN, FLIP and TIGER BEAT. After the series had run its course, those mag spots were taken over by THE PARTRIDGE FAMILY’s David Cassidy and Bobby quickly and sadly became a bit of a trivia question. The series only ran two seasons but its fans have been fiercely loyal. One of those fans was apparently writer Barbara Hambly who wrote a STAR TREK novel that was actually an unauthorized HERE COME THE BRIDES novel in which Spock ended up in nineteenth century Seattle under the wing of Aaron Stempel---whom you’ll recall was played on TV by the actor known for playing Spock’s father! More recently a more proper book was written about the series and came out from Bear Manor Media. There’s talk of remaking it as a feature film for 2013. Robert Brown went on to a syndicated underwater adventure series entitled PRIMUS. David Soul blazed through STSARSKY & HUTCH and later played the Bogart role in the ill-advised TV remake of CASBLANCA. Still later, he starred in the title role in JERRY SPRINGER, THE OPERA. Bobby Sherman had another short-lived series, GETTING TOGETHER, but soon retired to become an emergency responder, only recently returning to oldies concerts in the 21st Century. Meanwhile, back in 1968, I found out later that night that my fifth grade girlfriend Debbie had caught the show, too. She immediately developed a crush on Bobby and I had to hear about him a lot. I started buying his records, wearing fringed vests and love beads and growing my hair longer.

The daily drama and constant make-ups and break-ups that some of Kris Jenner's six children seem to go through on a near-weekly basis are nothing compared to their mother's sexual hijinks.

I guess she found her "something new."

Every now and then I mull over the fact that I haven’t been to a particularly large number of weddings in my life. Somewhere between 7 and 9 of them, I do believe, to date. There are several factors behind this tiny number, such as that I come from a relatively small family (and am the oldest grandchild and first degree cousin, so my siblings and all of my cousins have yet to marry) and that my group of real world (aka, off-line) friends is quite compact, too. Add to that the matter that I’ve moved numerous of times over the past decade or so, rarely settling down in one province (or country!) for too long, and thus not always building up a large group of friends and acquaintances. Toss in that I usually work from home (therefore making the kitty and husband my primary coworkers), and that my health often keeps me from joining social activities (sports teams, civic groups etc), and I can easily see why the number of wedding I’ve been do has to cross into double digit territory yet. Not that I’m blue about this point or anything like that, especially since I know that several family members are, or will soon be, now old enough to contemplate marriage, if they so desire, and thus it’s likely that they’ll be more weddings for me to attend in the coming years. Which is a very good thing because, you see, like many a gal, I rather adore weddings. I cherish the emotions that come with attending the nuptials of someone you care about (or even a stranger, really), the traditions and rituals of the ceremony, how each couple puts their own spin on things, and the sense of bliss and endlessly possibility that so often radiates from the bride and groom’s faces. Then of course, there is the wedding dress, the colour scheme, the cake, the flowers, the jubilant mood, the speeches and toasts, the music, and the first kiss. It’s all rather magical and fantastic. I do not, as of yet, have any weddings to attend this season, however I cannot help but find myself, on this serenely sun-kissed Sunday morning, yearning to take part, either as a guest or in the wedding party, in a wedding today. Unless I crash one though (which I’d never do!), that won’t be happening though. No worries in the least, there’s always the next best thing (or third best, if you work in order of one’s own wedding, then being a part of someone else’s), and that is looking at vintage wedding photos. Flickr is ripe with yesteryear wedding inspiration, and so it was there that I turned to find a trove of heartwarmingly wonderful, deeply beautiful 1940s and 50s photographs of real world couples celebrating what was, no doubt, one of – if not the single most – important days of their lives. Some weddings were lavish, others highly humble, and many (then as now) fell somewhere in between. These images speak volumes unto themselves, and so I have not added my comments below each one (as I usually do with vintage photo filled posts, such as Saturday Snapshots). Their allure and appeal is only heightened by the fact that, upon looking at them, you can write the story of these lovely couples yourself in your mind. {All images above are from Flickr. To learn more about a specific image, please click on it to be taken to its respective Flickr page.} Whether you’re attending a wedding a week this summer, just one, or (like me) don’t have any penciled in yet, I hope that you enjoy looking at these terrifically charming, perpetually special shots as much as I did – and that, should you happen to be planning your own marriage in the near future, you’ll be able to draw more than a modicum of inspiration from these timeless vintage wedding photos. Here’s to the elegance, excitement, and wonder of weddings, and to all those lucky, gorgeous summer brides out there this year!
